The Rivers of Paradise and Children of Shem is a book written by William Stirling in 1855. It is a detailed analysis of the ancient history and mythology of the Middle East, particularly focusing on the biblical accounts of the Garden of Eden and the descendants of Shem. The book also includes a comprehensive appendix, which provides additional information on various topics related to the ancient world, including the origins of language, the history of writing, and the geography of ancient India.One of the most significant sections of the book is Stirling's disquisition on the expedition of Sesostris into India. According to ancient Egyptian mythology, Sesostris was a powerful pharaoh who conquered much of the known world, including parts of India. Stirling's analysis of this expedition includes a detailed examination of the historical and cultural context of the time, as well as an exploration of the mythological and religious significance of the journey.Overall, The Rivers of Paradise and Children of Shem is a fascinating and comprehensive exploration of the ancient world, offering readers a unique insight into the beliefs, customs, and practices of the people who lived during this time. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Middle East, ancient mythology, or the origins of human civilization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
